I N VEN TOR A TTORNE YS DORA S. DAILY, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

SEPARAIBLE CUFF OR COLLAR, AND SHIRT.

Specificatidn of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 28, 1919.

Application filed March 17, 1919. Serial No. 288,144.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Dona S. DAILY, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city and county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Separable (Jufi's or Collars, and Shirts, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates, in general, to Wear ing apparel, and particularly to shirts collars and cuffs and their separable assembla e.

'I he object of my invention is to provide for the separable attachment of cuffs or collars, or both to shirts, by a simple and stable connection which is economical in manufacture and which is easy of operation, at the same time being comfortable and of neat appearance.

To this end my invention consists in the novel assemblage and connection of ends or collars, and shirts which I shall now fully describe, by reference to the accompanying drawings in which-'- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the cuff and shirt connection.

Fig. 2 is a section of the same, slightly enlarged, on the line 22 of Fig. l.

' Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the collar and shirt connection.

' Fig. 4 is a section of the same, on the line H of F ig. '2.

Referring. first to Figs. 1 and 2, the numera] 1 indicates the sleeve of a shirt, the Wrist opening of which is secured by the usua button 2. The wrist of the sleeve is formed with or has attached to it the symmetrically oppositely disposed tabs There is one of these tabs on each side. and each can therefore 'be made relatively wide, as shown in Fig. 1 resulting not only in ease of manipulation, but also in a more stable and firm connection.

4 is the cuff, as of the doubled or folded type.

In the inner fold of the cull, near its free edge, are inade the two slits 5, which have a length adapted for the passage through them of the tabs 3. When the cuff is fitted to the sleeve, and the tabs 3 passed through the slits 5, said tabs are then turned back and are connected with the sleeve by some form of readily detachable fastening This fastening may be such, for examplev as I have shown in connection with the collar of Figs. 3 and 4:, namely a button and a button-hole, or it may be as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a snap assemblage comprising a socket member 6 in the tab, a stud 7 in the sleeve, and an intervening-hole 8 in the coil. in order to provide a good appearance, the position of the slits 5 with respect to the edge of the cufi,\and the len h of the tabs 3, are such that when the to s are passed through the slits and fastened back to the sleeve, they and the snap fastening lie wholly concealed under the outer fold of the cuff. Due to the extensive bearing of the relatively wide tabs, the connection is particularly firm and stable, and holds the cull" in true straight position under all circumstanoes.

It is also apparent that the double cuff may be turned inside out when required to expose a fresh exterior.

In the application of my invention to the folded collar 9, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the same constructionis preserved, only one tab 3, on the neck portion 1' of the shirt; being here shown, but this tab is as before, relatively wide, and the slit 10 in the collar is adapted in length to receive it. A button 11 on the shirt, and a button hole 12 in the tab, are here shown as a detachable fastening, though a snap fastening may be used. When, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, a button and button hole are used as a. fastenin the button should he placed as near the ower line position of the collar as ossible, so that the. tab need not project but is concealcd between the folds of the collar as seen in Fig. i.

The separable connection herein described for both cuffs and collars is economical in manufacture, is readily made and broken, is soft and comfortable in wear, and is not unsightl y.

I. Separable wearing apparel comprising a shirt having oppositely disposed relatively uide tabs, a folded apparel member adapted to be fitted to the shirt and provided in its inner fold with slits through which the tabs are adapted to be passed and to lie wholly between the folds of said apparel member, and a detachable fastening between the shirt and the passed through ends of the tabs, said fastening lying between the folds of the apparel member.
